EARTH DAY

Earth Day, a day to raise awareness, but as you know, I feel we shouldn't need a day for this, but should be practiced every day. But time this scheduled post goes live, I've already spent much time cleaning up two alleys in Harrisburg that were littered from disgusting humans. One lady looked at me like I had two heads. I also talked my friend at his flower shop,  if his flower distributors accept back our delivery boxes, which we get daily. The good news...they do! Now we send back all boxes we receive so they can be used over again, plus they even give credit toward next orders if you return the boxes. He had no idea!!!! It's small but made me feel better. Some days I feel good about things, but deep down am very saddened by things in the environment, land preservation, and we continue to pollute the air and water, take more and more land, and a real sore spot with me...preserving our animals. Both political parties should be doing far more, but like most basic of living necessities and living conditions gets pushed to the sides. I fear we do not have time...roads, pollution and our endless greedy appetite for animals are truly destroying this natural world and all of the wonderful beings who live it. Not a day goes by where mercy is shown on the pavement to them from humanity. New bodies constantly litter the asphalt, or are littered in woods and jungles in traps, snares, and other trappings. Our gluttonous appetites seem to eat anything that moves. But what is humanity? Some say the most intelligent life on Earth. I would call it THE disease. A disease that is hell bent on taking everything that it can, so much so that it eventually will consume itself. The Earth is a fine-tuned living machine and takes every living thing to contribute to the workings of it, and most animals serve a purpose and add to things continuing. Same with plants.  How anyone can have disregard for bettering the life of the planet, environment and the animal kingdom baffles me, and I have no time for them. Call me strange, but I have no problem with Mother Nature taking back the planet. And just when we think we can't make a difference, any little bit helps. So many ways to be involved, or ways for better living, recycling, wind power, environment clean ups, supporting green candidates...remember we share the planet with others, it's not just ours. Hopefully it will be a nice day in your zip code to get outdoors and observe the day, doing something to commemorate the day and take in the nature, even in our own backyard. A scheduled post...I will return.... Happy Earth Day!
